Is This Just Another Lie?

- Short Reunion -

"Rise and shine? Was I asleep?" Kairi wondered her senses dull from tiredness. She blinked several times focusing her blurry vision. She scanned around the white room instantly recognizing it from before, before she passed out. "Anti-Kairi!" she hissed attempting to leap towards her antiform, but failed because of the fact she was chained to the wall. "Let me go!" she cried struggling to release herself from the chains.

Anti-Kairi folded her arms and smirked. "You can break out wise princess, can't you?" she asked in a mocking tone. "After all Kadaj said you had power beyond all reason so let me see it!" she exclaimed plopping down into a chair.

"Leave me alone!" Kairi screamed suddenly glowing with a bright light and unchaining herself from the wall. Anti-Kairi fell out of her chair flabbergasted. Kairi growled and pounced on her other. "Just disappear! Don't bother me anymore I don't need you!" she shrieked lifting Anti-Kairi off of the floor and thrusting her into a nearby wall, but Kairi didn't stop there.

Kairi charged running towards Anti-Kairi planning on doing some random violent act. Anti-Kairi removed herself form the wall and ran towards Kairi. Instead of colliding Anti-Kairi disappeared into Kairi's body screaming as she did so. Kairi gasped placing her hand on her chest. Was she gone? "I-I don't hear her voice," Kairi gasped breathing deeply.

After taking a few more deep breaths. She shrugged it off deciding it was better left unsolved. Kairi didn't like to think her other side was still around. "Now time to go save the others!" she exclaimed happily lifting Anti-Kairi's keys off of the ground and dashing out of the door. The woman ran down the corridors searching for prison cells, but all she saw where these strange dark purple barriers. They seemed to cover the way; Kairi occasionally saw strands of pink lightning flowing through them. They appeared to have a squishy appearance. As if they were made out of some sort of gooey substance. What were they?

"So Riku what gender baby do you want?" Yuffie asked giggling as she cut out pictures from a baby magazine. Riku shrugged flipping channels on the television. He had agreed to keep Yuffie company downstairs. "Oh come on," she whined throwing a cut up book at Riku's head. "There's got to be something you want in particular."

He paused. "Well I guess I kind of want a girl," Riku replied finally finding a station he could tolerate. Yuffie grinned and clapped her hands together.

"See I knew you had something in specific that you wanted. Well, I want a boy though. I think it might be exciting to raise one!" Yuffie squealed as she continued to cut out pictures of baby supplies and furniture. She was going to glue them to a piece of paper titled 'Baby's Dream Room'. "What would you name her anyway?"

Riku shrugged. "Isn't that for us to decide together?"

"Yeah."

Yuffie was sleeping in the corner of the cell like a perfect angel. There was no sound coming out of her except for her steady breathing. She smiled in her sleep dreaming about her life with her twins and her perfect husband Riku. "Riku," she mumbled in her sleep leaning her head on the brick wall. A shadow figure walked in front of Yuffie its shadow silhouetting her features. She slowly woke up glancing up at the tall figure. "R-Riku?" she stuttered rubbing her eyes and yawning.

As her vision became clearer she realized that it was indeed Riku. "Riku!" she squealed happily slowly lifting herself to her feet. She couldn't jump anymore in fear of damaging her children inside of her. "You've come to rescue me haven't you?" she inquired staring at her husband with odd look. Somehow he looked different. "Why is there a scowl on your face?"

Riku held a very frightful simper on his face. Yuffie took a step back. "Riku you're scaring me," Yuffie whined backing up into the wall.

"Don't be scared," Riku hissed taking a step closer to Yuffie so that she could feel his breath on her face. She cringed and closed her eyes. "I love you," he declared in a low growl. He leaned in acting like he was going to kiss her, but something different happened. Yuffie froze feeling pain shoot up her spin and chest. She gasped turning completely pale.

"R-Riku," she gasped hoarsely dropping to her knees in pain. Blood flowed down her stomach area getting all over her pants and half her shirt. It was a sickening scene, but Riku only watched greatly amused. She cried out in agony, screaming something that sounded like a 'why'. Yuffie fell silent.

Sora picked the grim out of his nails seeing as there was nothing to do. "Hey Selphie how long did you say you were in here?" Sora asked for the second time this hour. Selphie sighed and replied a simple 'I don't know'. "Oh." He was silent except for the clicking sound of his nails being cleaned. There was nothing else to do after all.

"Kairi!" Selphie suddenly shrieked.

Sora instantly flicked his head up and out. Had his eyes deceived him was that really Kairi standing in front of their cell looking around with keys in her hand. "Kairi!" he exclaimed running to the bars of their box cage. "Kairi! Kairi!" he shouted.

Kairi paused. There was something strange about this spot. "Is there someone around here?" she called out looking around for any sign of life. She didn't see anything or anybody calling towards her. What was this strange feeling she was getting? She honestly felt like someone was there.

Sora strained himelf. "Kairi!" he screamed slipping his arm between the bars. "Kairi!" he cried out feeling the pain from the barrier slowly cut the flesh on his arm. It was as though lightning were gnawing away at him with its sharp fangs. He winced feeling the irritated by his blood slowly trickling down the sides of his arm. "Kairi!"

Kairi screamed seeing somebody's bloody arm reaching for her through the strange purple barrier. She heard her name being called. She took a step closer trying to look inside the barrier. "Who's in there?" she asked squinting her eyes. Kairi could hardly see anything, behind the purple blob was dark.

"Sora and Selphie!"

She grinned. She was delighted to hear those names. "I'll get you out!" she exclaimed picking a random key that had been misplaced on the floor and jamming it into the keyhole that had suddenly appeared in the center of the barrier. She unlocked it and the barrier flew down revealing a free Sora and Selphie. "Guys!" she cried happily spreading out her arms. Selphie ran into them before Sora could get anywhere near his fiancé.

"You rescued me!" she squealed in delight. "You're the best friend ever!" Kairi laughed patting Selphie's back. It was good to see the brunette woman again.

"I'm not all that great." Selphie released her friend and looked down the hallway. "Are our friends behind those barriers too?" Kairi inquired staring down the line. Selphie nodded. "Okay then we'll just have to set them free."

Naminé was seated in a white chair staring at Roxas while he slept peacefully. 'I hope she's all right…I don't know if she got the message.' Roxas stirred swinging his head from side to side. As an end result he banged his head into the brick wall instantly waking up. "Ow!" he whined rubbing his head. Naminé chuckled and crossed her legs.

"Are you all right Roxas?" Naminé asked. She stared down at him. "I can get you some ice if your head hurts."

Roxas's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "N-Naminé?" She nodded happily standing up. Roxas jumped to his feet and pulled the honey blonde into a tight, yet loving hug. She smiled returning his hug. "I didn't think I'd ever see you again! Did they hurt you? I swear I'll kill them."

She shook her head. "Actually…I should be asking you those questions. When I finally got to see you, you were being electrocuted," Naminé explained. "So I made a deal with them and I saved you." She felt quite nervous, and it showed as she fiddled her fingers.

Roxas crossed his arms. "What kind of deal Nam?" He had always used her nickname when he questioned her reasoning.

She linked her hands behind her back. "I have to repair memories. I guess I can do that now…but instead of fixing everyone's memories I told them what was going on in their sleep and what they had to do…I just hope they actually paid attention. If they did, maybe we can defeat our captors and get out of here."

Roxas laughed. The way she worded her explanation was strange. "How can one pay attention in their sleep?" he inquired sounding smart.

"Shut up!" Naminé exclaimed slapping Roxas's arm. Roxas grinned and rubbed his arm; her slap hurt more than it should. "Come on Roxas we're leaving. I have the keys so we can-." He quickly placed his index finger on her pink lips. She was silenced. Naminé stared at him with her confused blue eyes. He removed his finger and swiftly planted a small kiss on her lips.

A blush crept onto her cheeks. A smirk played onto his lips. How he missed watching her nervousness build up. He struck out his arm offering his hand. "Come on Naminé, we should go find the others," he insisted. She giggled and gratefully took his arm. She waved her free arm creating a doorway in the way. Roxas stared blankly at the dark miasma Naminé had created from the palm of her hand. "They aren't too fond of doors around here aren't they?" he inquired letting her lead him through.

His fist pounded onto the wooden desk. Due to the absence of furniture in the perfectly white room his pounding bounced around on the walls echoing as though the two cloaked men were in a cave. "Sephiroth! What do you mean someone has infiltrated our facilities!" he shouted almost screaming. The man seemed to keep some of his cool. Slowly he plopped back down into his chair taking in a few more deep breaths. This had come as a shock to him.

"Yes Kadaj, and stop acting like you are the leader of this," Sephiroth hissed. Even though his eyes had been covered by the hood of the black cloak Kadaj could feel the icy blue eyes piercing through his very soul. He was instantly cooled down by his fear. "Also it appears that Anti-Kairi has been defeated by her other side. The princess has more power than we thought, we'll have to evacuate and relocate immediately if they all haven't gotten free all ready. We are loosing our control over the prisoners. Fetch Cid, now," he ordered with a waved of his gloved hand.

In almost a split second a portal opened and Cid stepped out. He was now also dressed in the usual cloak. His eyes glowed red showing no signs of humanity or pupils. There was an evil simper playing in his features. Little kids would cry in terror at the sight of him. The only aura coming from his being was of pure evil, and even that could be sensed miles away. "You called?" he responded in a deadly cold voice. His manly voice had suddenly grown deeper, and had a maniac's ring to it.

Kadaj nodded. "We need you to exterminate those who have infiltrated our base while we transport the prisoners," he instructed removing himself from the cushioned chair he had been seated in. He waved his right hand and a portal of his own creation opened. Both him and Sephiroth disappeared into its spiraling abyss. The portal soon disappeared without a trace leaving Cid to attend to the matter at hand.

"Yuna, what is this place?" Rikku asked amazed at the structure of the strange building they had wandered into. There were so many hallways and doorways, and simply some of those pathways led to a dead-end, where had they gone? She heard the sound of many feet pattering their way. The group of four women stopped in their tracks. What was coming towards them? Rikku once again looked to Yuna for the answer, she only saw the brunette woman shrug.

Yuna's eyes had narrowed. She stared down the hallway in the direction of the stampede. Questions flowed through her mind. Would this be an enemy or ally coming down this corridor? Her fist clenched and her foot slid one inch on the floor. She was standing her ground. "Gullwings, get in position," she ordered stretching her left arm slightly behind her to keep her balance. Paine and Rikku instantly jumped in front of her acknowledging her command and shoulder injury. Tifa stood behind them ready to fight.

Instead of seeing what they expected Sora, Kairi, Selphie, Pence, Tidus, and Hayner came dashing down the hallway. They were on the look out for other strange purple bubbles. The six were equally as stunned upon seeing the four agents standing before them. It was a great reunion. "Yuna! Rikku! Paine! Tifa!" the gang exclaimed in unison not believing their eyes. Grins and smiles spread on their faces.

Rikku peeped looking around for a particular red haired man. "Have you guys found Axel yet?" she inquired biting the nail of her index finger. She saw Tidus shake his head and a sigh erupted from her being. "Okay," she mumbled her emerald eyes staring towards her feet. It was Selphie's turn to speak.

"Don't worry Rikku, we haven't saved everyone yet. You see Kairi has the key to all the cells so we're just running around looking for them," she explained trying to restore hope in her hopeless blonde friend. "Have you seen any purple bubbles during your travels?" The pack of agents only shook their heads, not that they had been looking for purple bubbles.

Sora smashed his fist into his palm, wincing because of the pressure applied to his newly frail wrist. "Don't worry girls we'll find all of our friends! I'm sure they all survived," he said with a grin. He was confident in his comrades, dare he say it, he was confident in his amigos. "Come on, we won't find them standing around like idiots with baffled expressions, lets go!" he exclaimed thrusting his fist into the air.

It was a dream. No, it was a horrible nightmare. Where and what had happened. She was fading between life and death. How much more pain could she take? How much more pain could they take? She could feel the puddle of blood under her seeping through her clothing. Seeping through her ebony locks of beautiful hair. Seeping through her very soul as if to remind her of the pain she was experiencing. Was there no end?

Her eyes seemed to flicker on and off. Her beautiful indigo eyes appeared to be fading. Her life slipping away through the deep wound in her newly punctured stomach. How and why did he do that to her? Her heart burned with emotional scars. Her love had betrayed her and her unborn children? She cried for them all. Were they even alive? Tears seemed to endlessly fall from her tear ducts, sliding off her pale cheek, and into the puddle of blood that continued to grow.

'Is this my end?' She tried to move her body, but it was entirely numb. Her vision wasn't centered. It was as though she had had a bit too much to drink on a New Year's Eve. She couldn't feel her fingers twitching, reaching out for an unforeseen help, but there was none Tidus had been taken away hours ago, or was it days? There seemed to be no time in this horrid place. Her strength was wavering. It would completely leave her soon.

A flash of light seemed to spread around her cell bars. Her lips parted as she watched the light reveal what seemed to be figures running towards her. They were screaming about something that included the words Yuffie and No. She saw a particular blonde man run towards her. The last things she saw were chocolate-brown eyes staring back at her with worry before her vision went back to black. 'I'm so sorry my babies…please forgive mommie?'

Roxas and Naminé had freed a total of three people already now, one of them being deceased. Poor Wakka didn't make it through his torture. It was painful for Roxas to watch as Naminé did a silent ritual for the dearly departed. They now had Axel and Olette with them. The four walked in complete silence. After seeing what had become of Wakka they worried for the others. Had they survived the inevitable?

Olette paused in mid-step. With a swift blow she was knocked to the ground in what seemed to be lightning speed. Axel ran to her aid and only caught a glimpse of aquamarine eyes. The first thought: Riku. Naminé pushed Roxas out of the way before he had become friends with Riku's sword. She quickly had to move herself out of the way as well. Before Riku could move again she grabbed his arm as if it were his weakness.

"Riku!" she shouted in distraught. She was so disoriented. "What are you doing?" she inquired staring at her fallen friend with confused blue eyes that only reflected innocence. He couldn't stare back. It was too late. Instead of answering he swiped at her creating a cut in her white cloak and sending her to the floor.

"Naminé!" Roxas cried crawling over to his lover. He gently shook her, but the shock had knocked away her oxygen and she was temporarily unconscious. Animal instinct took over. He growled and leapt at his ex-friend. "You hurt her!" he screamed slamming Riku into the way. The albino haired man was taken by surprise by the amount of strength Roxas could conjure. "You'll pay!" he screamed again beating on Riku's chest and arms trying to get him to drop the weapon he was holding.

Axel bit his bottom lip. He couldn't just watch as Roxas attacked his friend, he had to help the golden blonde somehow. Green eyes glanced back down at Olette who wasn't there, but instead tending to Naminé. A smirk formed onto his pink lips. Axel charged and started to restrain Riku as Roxas tried to free the grip on his weapon. The two worked great as a team.

"No!" Riku shouted a blue aura surrounded him and Axel and Roxas were thrown to the floor. They watched in horror as Riku transformed into something monstrous in front of their very eyes. "I won't be defeated this way!" he screamed stretching out his palms and shooting blue beams towards his current victims. Axel and Roxas dodged with ease to his dismay. Riku wasn't a very good aimer.

"Why are you doing this?" Axel cried as he jumped out of the way. He wouldn't be hit by one of those dangerous looking energy beams. He could've sworn he heard Riku cry out in pain. The red haired man only ignored it.

Riku shook his head. "I'm protecting Yuffie!" he cried unleashing more and more of his power. He wasn't using his energy wisely and he would have a meltdown if he didn't stop soon. His energy had already been tapped out by his sudden depression. There wasn't anything better about joining up with the strange men. As for Yuffie's safety, he only thought of himself as an abomination. His wife could be…dead.

"Why you don't have to kill us you know," Roxas pointed out with a nod of his head. He crossed his arms and looked Riku sternly in the eyes. "If you really want to protect Yuffie you would let us go find her so we can free her. Naminé has one of the key's to the cells and we could-."

"There's no point!" Riku shouted. His aura had died down and his face had dropped. He had an expression of a broken man. "Yuffie's probably dead by now!" he shouted making Roxas jump out of his skin. The albino turned away looking towards the ground. "I can't live with myself anymore for what I did to her and my unborn children. I hate myself now. So just go."

Olette stared in awe. She wondered what Riku had done to poor Yuffie, regardless she helped Naminé off the ground and followed the men who were already walking away. "Good luck Riku," Olette whispered before turning around and following the new appointed leaders.

Sora carried Yuffie as the large group continued to explore the surroundings. They had gotten the bleeding to stop, but they feared the worst. She hadn't moved at all since they had retrieved her from the cell. According to Tifa she was still alive, but she wasn't too sure about the twins inside her. If they didn't get help soon both babies, if not already, would die. They were running out of time.

Kairi walked next to Sora. She kept an eye on the ebony haired woman. She feared so much for her friend. "Please wake up," she whispered running her fingers through Yuffie's ebony hair. She smiled sadly.

Tifa stopped. "Guys…we can't just walk around with Yuffie in the condition she's in, one of us has to get her to a hospital," she said sternly. "And I'll do it. I remember exactly where the exit is." Sora nodded and gently handed the limp Yuffie over to Tifa. The woman cradled her friend. "I'll send help and good luck to you all." With those words being said Tifa ran past them all heading for the hole in the wall they had entered through.

"Good luck to you too," Selphie said quietly watching as Tifa turned the corner. The group was silent as they continued to search. The events of today had put them in somewhat of a melancholy mood. Selphie finally spoke. "Do you think the others are all right?" she inquired.

Yuna only shrugged. "I don't know what kind of torture all of you have been through, but we don't want to count our chickens before they hatch," she stated bluntly. In front of them was yet another purple bubble. All eyes fell on Kairi.

The auburn haired woman nodded and raised her arm. She punctured the bubble with the key searching for the keyhole. Unlike the other bubbles the keyhole hadn't appeared in shining light. What was wrong with this cell? "I don't know what's happening, but I can't open it!" she cried. She let out a scream when she realized she couldn't free her hands that she had stuck through the bubble.

"Kairi!" Sora cried running towards her. She was slowly being sucked into the bubble. Kairi struggled trying to pull away, but the force of the strange object was too much for her fragile body and she had to subject. Sora put his hands around her waist trying to free her. "Hold on!" he screamed but instead of freeing her he ended up getting stuck himself. It was like purple quick sand.

"Sora! Kairi!" Tidus shouted reaching out for them, but it was too late. Kairi and Sora had been absorbed in front of them all. Soon afterwards the bubble disappeared like magic.

"That was weird," Paine mumbled staring at the blank wall the bubble had left behind. She looked at her companions. "We better get going if we want to-." Suddenly the floor gave way and they all fell into darkness. The only thing that could be heard in the empty expanse was the sound of Selphie's shrill screaming.
